Is there any thread where you can post battle logs so that can be analyzed ? I am sure some people talked about it back then... cant remember though.

 

[Dr. Eyepatch]

I've come into posesion of a Shiny Quiet (+Satk - Spe) Eevee with wish that I really want to use, but I'm stuck for a moveset that would be useable without hidden power. Could anyone help me out? It doesn't matter to me what eeveelution it becomes.

That sounds just like an Eevee that was to be traded to me recently yet never was...

Either way, I had intended for it to evolve into a Glaceon, as it is probably the best evolution to take advantage of the Special Attack increase while not particularly minding the speed drop. While I know this is not exactly a moveset, this suggestion may steer you towards what exactly you would like your Eevee to do.

 

[HotDave]

When I evolve a Nincada, does the resulting Shedinja have the same EVs and/or IVs as the Ninjask?

 

[Dr. Eyepatch]

Yes. Just remember to have a spare Pokéball.

 

[sharkshocker]

If it's like the other events, all you have to do is go to mystery gift and via wireless
then you wil download the wondercard and you can receive Dragonite in any pokemart.

I have another Pokemon waiting to be received at the Pokemart (Manaphy) Would I have to get it first to get the Dragonite, or can I just let them both stay there? *sigh* I'm gonna have to finally pick up Manaphy either way (checking for right nature)

 

[MetaNite]

Let's say my Pokemon is asleep and uses Sleep Talk which activates Psycho Shift and puts the foe to sleep. Later, if that Pkmn is still asleep am I breaking sleep clause if Sleep Talk Psycho Shifts and puts the foe to sleep again?

I am afraid so. From my understanding, pokémon do not stack... ^_^;

What is a pokemon that learns both quick attack and brave bird that is in the flying egg group?

 

[Dr. Eyepatch]

The Staraptor line is the only one that learns both naturally. Through chain-breeding, your options greatly increase.

 

[Itsuki]

Does the Unlimited Berries code affect anything with th legitimacy of a Pokemon. I just got to ask someone I'm pretty sure it's no.

So am I right? No one answered.

 

[Silentmartyr]

Does anyone know of a damage calculator for Shaymin-s?

 

[lati0s]

the species of pokemon doesnt matter for damage calculations only thier stats and if they get STAB or not, or defensively the type effectiveness

 

[CardsOfTheHeart]

To do that, use this calculator. It's the best online calculator that I know of.

If you need to calcuate Shaymin-S's stats, though, Psypokes's Stat Calculator has all of the new Platinum forms in it.

what's a good counter for a zapdos which carries t-bolt, heatwave, hp ice, roost?

i'm already running a boah (retro i know), so t-tar's out. i also want to stay away from snorlax, because it's quite similar to t-tar. bliss is also out, just because A) i play pretty offensively and B) i already know that bliss works and i want to find more options.

Swampert, Lanturn work, but neither are particularly offensive (CBPert works if you want to try it though...). Boah actually works if you pack Ice Beam on it, or are willing to defense drop with Crunch.

 

[Shelcario]

How do people who are doing the SBP decide when to save when hatching eggs for a shiny, how many eggs do they wait till they start saving before taking each egg?

 

[Legacy Raider]

I think they save before every egg, and they toss it and SR a new egg if it isnt shiny.

You could use Swampert, but be aware, that most Zapdos these days carry HP Grass instead of HP Ice.

 

[Legacy Raider]

I find both Raikou and Jolteon to be effective Zapdos checks. Raikou especially as it can just use Zapdos as set up fodder. It is very effective in todays metagame because of how well it can take Heatran Earth Powers, Skymin Seed Flares, etc after a CM, and how it resists Scizor Bullet Punch.

Um, what is the infamous box trick and how do I use it on my Event Dragonite?

 

[Chirnobyl]

Well, basically after you EV train a Pokemon, if you put it in the PC the pokemon's stat would recorrect itself to match the EVs, but I'm not sure if it works anymore in D/P since it doesn't work with level 100's... you could always give it a EV reducing berry in a stat that you didn't EV train so that it recorrects itself.. or so I've heard

i'm set on using flamethrower, sub, focus punch, dark pulse. i looked at the top 20, and this thing just cleans up. therefore, ice beam's out.

swampert may be out PP'd by zapdos. i think ice beam only does around 40%. i'm not really sure if that equates to 'beating' zapdos.

 

[Xenon]

A really stupid question out of curiosity, what is the Pokemon below Skarmory in the Image in the top left corner (the badge sort of thing that Ho-oh and Lugia are holding) ?

 

[Binabik]

im pretty sure that it's lucario

QUESTION:

Who were the Very, very, very First Pokemon Breeders here in Smogon?

I have heard a Lot of PEople saying that this site is the Best Pokemon Site There is, and Making Pokemon not a stupid, not as childish as seen by a LOT of people on the T.V. But as a very Competitive and hard game to play.
